    I thought the flash was the last film in the DCEU until James Gunn starts to put movies out. I feel like it’s a lost cause personally but I’m also not a die hard DC fan.

        They were both scheduled to release in 2022, but Aquaman would have competed with Avatar: The Way of Water, and Blue Beetle was originally a direct-to-streaming movie before they decided to put it in theaters.

          From what I can see, the real underwater stuff in WoW is way better than the “underwater” shots in Aquaman.

            Which is exactly why they didn’t release it in 2022 - Avatar was just so much more technologically advanced thay the VFX for Aquaman would pale in comparison.

            And also they would be conpeting against the sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time.

          Gunn had no input on it, he does consider BB the first character of the new continuity, but Supes will be the first film.

    Looks like a decent flick.

    Bonus - referencing the blue camoflage suit is cool, always liked that:

    But, man, shooting dry for wet still looks like crap.

    I have never watched any movie with Jason Momoa Aquaman in it, so that iteration of the character will always be associated with Fortnite for me. He was the featured battle pass skin in the first summer of the pandemic, and that’s when we got mad invested in Fortnite to stay connected with some of our friends.

      Yeah, but who’s the bad guy here?

      Black Manta is pissed, but Aquaman did get his dad killed in the first one…
